Dear Tony,

I'm very happy to receive your email,asking about my English reading.        Yours,Li Ming

My name is Li Jie. I have been learning English for nearly three years. I find it difficult to learn a second language well,although I like it. Every day I spend lots of time on new words and texts. I can re?member most of them. But I haven't made much progress yet.

The biggest problem is my spoken English. I'm not outgoing and I'm afraid to speak English in class. I am often too nervous to think of the words I need,so I just hide behind my textbooks and never put up my hand. In my free time,1hardly ever talk with my classmates in English.

I'm a very slow reader. While reading,I try to translate every word into Chinese. And I will feel worried when I meet any word I don't know. I have to stop to look it up.

I find it's easy to remember grammar rules. However,I always make a lot of mistakes in writ?ing. How can I use the rules correctly?

Are You a Good English Learner?

Do you think of yourself as a good English learner or not? Do the following test honestly and check out.

阅读李杰的自述和某杂志关于学习的测验表。假如你是李杰，请根据检测表中的五个问题，选出正确的 选项A 或 B.

(   ) 36. You learning English.

(   ) 37. You often         .

(   ) 38. In your English class,you are       .

   B. shy and nervous

(   ) 39. While reading,you feel      .

   A. OK even if you don't know all the words

   B. uncomfortable unless you know all words

(   ) 40. In writing,you       .

   A. make few grammar mistakes

   B. don't know how to use grammar rules in a right way

 What is your result? The more "A”s you've got,the better an English learner you are.

5 "A”s: Well done. You are a top English learner;

3-4 "A”s: Not bad. You are a fair English learner;

0-2 "A”s: Don't give up. Find a way that suits you to learn better.

 Why is it that some people seem to learn several languages without any effort,while for others learn?ing just one foreign language is neither enjoyable nor successful? What makes learning a new language so easy for some and so difficult or others?

We each have our own preferred way of learning as a result of our cultural and educational back?grounds and our personalities. Experts have identi?fied different learning styles.

Visual Learners usually enjoy reading and prefer to see an image of the words they are learn?ing. Auditory Learners,on the other hand,prefer to learn by listening. They enjoy conversations and talking to others.

Some people like to learn by using their hands to touch objects? while others like to move around and need frequent breaks from sitting at a desk.

There are Analytical Learners,meaning they enjoy understanding how the language works. They love studying grammar rules and like to focus on de?tails,whereas Global Learners are more interested in communicating their ideas and are not worried about whether what they say is grammatically correct.

In spoken English,the Japanese tend to be Re?flective Learners. They think carefully before they speak to ensure their message is accurate. They do not make so many mistakes but their communication is slower. European learners tend to be Impulsive Learners. They speak more fluently and worry about how well they are communicating rather than how many mistakes they are making.

So,to do well in a language? you should identi- fy your style and try to find a class that will teach you the way you want to learn. For example,if you are a Reflective Learner,you may not do so well in a purely conversational class and as an Auditory Learner,you probably don't want to do so much reading. In fact if you are an Auditory Learner,you are probably not enjoying yourself right now！

One day I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, "You speak very good Eng?lish.”But the girl answered, "No,no. My English is very poor. " The foreigner was quite 11        at the answer. Thinking he had not made 12        under?stood or the girl had not 13        him clearly,he said,"Yes,indeed,you speak very well.”14       the girl still kept saying, "No." In the end,the American boy could not understand and didn't know 15        to say.

What's wrong with the girl's answer? She didn't 16       a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer "Thank you" instead of "No". She 17        under?stood what the American boy had said,but she thought she should be modest (谦虚的) .In the 18      ,people will feel proud and 19        when they are praised (表扬) .So if someone says the 20        you have cooked are delicious,you should say "Thank you".

In our country we think being modest is a virtue(美德) and being proud is a bad thing. But in my opinion,being confident does not 21        being proud,so sometimes you should be confident 22        being modest.

23       you are modest and say "No,I'm afraid I can't do it well" while working in a Western country,the others may think that you really cannot do it. If you often say " No", you will certainly be looked down upon by 24        When asking for a job,if one says something like "Yes,I can certainly do it”instead of "Let me have a try"? he or she will 25        to get it. So in the West,you should be brave to show your self-confidence.
